The Good Development Experiences

• Learning how to code in C
• Working with other teams
• Getting to know classmates
• Getting a hands on experience with the
  development process
• Learning each of the stages
• Learning how to document SW development rather
  than making a brief user-guide

6
The Good Development Experiences (cont)

• Seeing our work actually being executed/implemente
  d with the robots
• Getting to see what other groups were doing
  during the studio labs
• Interacting via Communications Protocol
• Sharing robots in lab
• Adjusting to changing environment

7
The Bad Development Experiences

• Agreeing on implementation issues
• Consistent and up-to-date shared documents
• Dividing the work evenly among members
• Last minute changes/updates by management for Lab
  requirements
• Being too optimistic (time estimation when
  coding)
• Parts took much longer than expected!
• Having OLS and robots available to use

8
The Ugly Development Experiences

• Trying to get both groups to meet at the same
  time
• Communication
• Trying to get individual groups to meet at the
  same time
• Testing when using the test tools
• Getting both parts to connect to each other
• Having to spend so much time working on this
  project (out of class)
